This is a discussion on Deep Stacks - how much to raise within the online poker forums, in the Tournament Poker section; Say blinds are really low and everybody has a deep stack.
You're UTG and get dealt AKo. Do you raise and if yes how much?
Do you

Typically this is based on a factor of the blinds and antes. In a tournament depending on the table and players at it I'd raise early stages anywhere from 3-5x when I raise, maybe sometimes throw a limp in for deception and the opportunity to reraise if someone behind raises.

The size of the raise is mainly influenced by the blind sizes from my point of view. The deep stack doesn't count for me in this case.

re: Poker & Deep Stacks - how much to raise

I will raise 3x the BB most of the time! If I get re-raised once then I will call and see a flop. If multiple players re-raise me I would probably fold to not lose my chip stack early to a big pair.
